Historically there are tree methods about tides theory:
- Newton's static theory
- Laplace dynamic non harmonic theory
- Harmonic tidal equation
Until 90's Laplace's method was still available in the Hydrographic Office publications like tide tables.
Harmonic method became popular since the utilization of computers.
